Scripture Reading: Psalm 40:1-3 “I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me and heard my cry. 2 He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. 3 He has put a new song in my mouth— Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear and will trust in the Lord.”

The Apostle Peter discovered, as you and I can, that when we come to Jesus, no matter what our past, no matter how big a mess of things we have made, Jesus will always welcome us with open arms. He will restore us! And He will use us to build His Kingdom. God does not allow us to stay in a messed-up state of being!
